When Did Your Gas Go Away?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I had the lap band surgery 7/5/12. I am experiencing extreme gas throughout my chest, feels like its swollowing my heart sometimes. My back has been in alot of pain as well, maybe because I'm not able to sleep normally? Anyway I'm just curious to how long it took post op for YOUR gas to ease up though I know we are all different.

Thanks! :)

I was banded on 6/27/12 and still experience sight pain in my left shoulder....usually when I lie down. It gets better day by day. I know how uncomfortable it is. Just walk as much as you can to help with that gas and let it out which ever way it wants to, lol. There is relief is sight :)

Mine went away mostly on day 9 post-op, then completly by Day 10. Seems like it got worse before it got better there at the end. Heating pad was my best friend.

I had surgery the same day you did. I have had gas pain since, but for some reason today was the worst. It had me a little concerned. Today is the first day my left shoulder hurt, really bad. It felt like I broke it. It also hurt under my left rib cage.

Hope it gets better tomorrow!

About 2 weeks after surgery... My doctor prescribed advil liquid gels for 5 days and it worked. Also, walking around doing "windmills" w/ur arms helped a lot....

I was banded 7 days ago, although I don't have gas pains, I do burp more frequently than I used to. Plus I still have this brick in my stomach feeling that won't go away.

Hello there, my gas went away around days 3 to 4. My best friend was the Gas X melt away strips and walking. It did wonders. Hope this helps, good luck

Are you walking? Walking is the key. Some people use gas-x. I didn't I just walked. You should start feeling better each day. At two weeks I felt great.

Everyone mentions to walk, how much walking do you advise? I just had surgery Monday and still have the gas pain, but I also had a hiatal hernia repaired, whcih I am sure is part of it. Aleve has helped a lot with my shoulder pain as well.

I was banded July 5th & used milk of magnesia the 1st 48 hours & it helped with gas pain. It's getting better now ( day 7) so really I've had gas but not much gas pain! Went for a message today & was even able to lay on my stomach! On the road to healing :-)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
